CIARRA Portable Range Hood, Desktop Range Hood with 2 Speed Exhaust Fan, Detachable Aluminum Filter, Large Oil Collection Cup, Portable Kitchen Exhaust Fan for Indoor BBQ, Hot Pot

After I went to Korea I was looking for one of these and ordered this. It was cheaper than Home Depot for the same exact product and had more color options. I have used this for hot pot Korean bbq shabu shabu fried rice, it works very well. The smell after cooking disappears about a hour or two after I open windows as before we were not able to do it cuz of the smoke and steam. I didn’t even want to try. Very easy to turn on and plug in. Noise level is loud but you can still talk to the person next to you and across from you. Love the cool down mode as well. Fantastic product.

I don't even trust a wall mounted hood to catch all of the smoke and be cleaned completely. And a wall mounted hood is loud! So this little machine is quiet. I had to make sure it is running. It's the buyer's job to make sure the smoking surface does not greatly exceed the hood's diameter, a limitation for any kind of hood. So, make sure your smoking surface is not more than 7". That's the true limitation for this machine. Otherwise, if you diligently follow the cleaning instruction and clean the filters every time you use it, it's a machine that works great: (1) You see that the filters are greasy (2) There is oil deposit in the cup (I didn't expect as much oil deposit as it managed to gather). For a 7" pan or pot, I think it works better than a wall mounted hood probably because you can place it very close to the smoking surface.

We use this portable hood whenever we do K-BBQ or sear steaks indoors. For something this small, it pulls in a lot more oil and smoke than I expected. The filter and oil cup actually catch a noticeable amount of grease, and the airflow is strong enough to keep our smoke alarm from going off during heavier cooking sessions. Without it, indoor BBQ would be a mess. Just be realistic about what it can and can’t do. It’s not going to capture everything—there’s still some smoke and grease that escape, especially when you’re cooking at high heat or have multiple burners going. That’s just the limitation of any tabletop unit. The aluminum filter is easy to remove and clean, and the oil cup fills slowly enough that you’re not constantly emptying it. Noise level is about what you’d expect from a small exhaust fan—not silent, but manageable. Pros: Actually, reduces smoke enough to prevent false fire alarms Catches a good amount of grease Easy-to-clean filter and oil collection cup Makes indoor K-BBQ or steak nights a lot more tolerable Cons: Can’t capture all smoke/oil (don’t expect a wall-mounted hood’s performance) Airflow is decent but not strong enough for very heavy cooking sessions Only two fan speeds Bottom line: Not perfect, but genuinely useful if you want to grill or sear indoors without filling your place with smoke. It does enough to justify the space and cost.

Works great if you don’t have a hood and replace your oven/stove and there aren’t many options for downdraft models avail. Only other alternative was to find a portable hood. Had a collection cup for oil. So far does what it should.

My kitchen is an open concept design and was hoping this will help reduce the odor from cooking immediately. I will be returning because of some issues using this. First complaint, device has to be very close to the pan for exhaust to work. Second, it does not reduce the odor from cooking. Third, I left it turned on and even after cooking, it does nothing to diminish the smell. I was really hoping for this to work, sadly it does nothing meet expectations.

The product is ok. Helps, but it’s not a solution. It does not suck in all the odor. You still get some smoke and smell around the house. You really need to put it to the max, and leave it really close to the pan to get some result.

Useful! And beautiful color

The concept is great, but this model fell short. 1. The head is not adjustable, so the angle is fixed. If you are cooking in a pot, you will need to elevate it by placing it on something (I tried an upside-down bowl. 2. The suction - even on the high setting - is terrible! In appearance, you think the entire circle is taking in the smoke/steam from the pan; however, it's a much smaller circle. The unit needs to be right beside the pan/pot to even halfway work. 3. It is loud. I would not recommend this product and returned it after one use.

Loud noise

Ich bin absolut begeistert von meiner Mini-Dunstabzugshaube von CIARRA! Diese kleine Kraftpakete hat meine Küche im Sturm erobert. Trotz ihrer kompakten Größe bietet sie eine beeindruckende Leistung, die mühelos mit größeren Modellen mithalten kann. Die Installation war ein Kinderspiel, und das schlichte Design fügt sich nahtlos in meine Kücheneinrichtung ein. Was mich besonders überzeugt hat, ist die effiziente Geruchsbeseitigung. Die Dunstabzugshaube hält meine Küche frei von unangenehmen Gerüchen und sorgt dafür, dass die Luft stets frisch ist. Die verschiedenen Geschwindigkeitsstufen ermöglichen eine individuelle Anpassung an unterschiedliche Kochaktivitäten. Darüber hinaus ist die Mini-Dunstabzugshaube erstaunlich leise, was besonders in offenen Wohnbereichen von Vorteil ist. Sie ist nicht nur funktional, sondern auch äußerst platzsparend. Alles in allem bin ich äußerst zufrieden mit meinem Kauf und kann die CIARRA Mini-Dunstabzugshaube uneingeschränkt empfehlen!

Works on gas stoves also. If you fry meat such as making hamburgers it cuts out the odour.

Bastante funcional a máxima potencia.

It stopped working after 2 days. Very disappointed
